When it comes to adding excitement to any event, a “close hand” magician can make a big difference. Though you might be more familiar with the term “close up magic,” the term “close hand magic” is also used interchangeably by some. But what exactly is close hand magic, and why should you consider hiring a close hand magician for your next event?
Occasionally when people contact me they ask if I “just do card tricks?” This is often said (I think) negatively, and I believe they ask it because they’ve seen someone perform a series of boring card tricks.
Are card tricks boring?
NO.
In and of themselves, it’s not the card tricks that are boring, it’s the person performing them.
As a professional close up magician, and expert in card magic, I feel I am well placed to offer advice on this question.
In fact, I give this advice to the magicians that I mentor too. Sometimes they say to me, “my audiences don’t like card tricks.” That seems crazy to me.
